1.During the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, one of the French judges on the judging panel for the pairs ice skating competition indicated that she felt pressure to vote for the Russian team, the team that was awarded the gold medal for the competition. She indicated that there would be aquid pro quo, that is, the Russian judge would then vote for the French team in the ice dancing competition. Following the award of the medal in the pairs competition, there was international outcry because the silver medal Canadian duo had skated flawlessly whereas the Russian team had several flaws in its performance. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded a second gold medal to the Canadian team and launched an investigation and vowed to reform judging practices and rules. Discuss the ethical issues in this case and be sure to discuss why these types of deals among judges create problems.
